I'm trying to find some way to communicate to you that we're talking about the middle, not the bottom. So I did some research and found that only a little more than the top ten percent of taxpayers--AGI upwards of 90K--currently pay enough in tax to cover their own health care and nothing else. That would be the situation were we to fund universal coverage from the general fund. That's all the bottom, middle, and some of the top. That would make nearly ninety percent of us free riders. How could you possibly expect democracy to stand up against that. These are my rough computations using data from: irs.gov taxprof.typepad.com
